they turned into the stretch for home. Del
Norte had an easy task from here home,
and won by a length, quite struggle being

A Gang of Mexican Bandits Apprehented d
in Arizona.


Tucson, April 2lst-Recent develop
ments have disclosed a den of persons who
form a band of robbers and murderers that
have been operating in Sonora for months
and also committed many crimes in Ari-
zona. They have waylaid miners and
travellers in Sonora and other places, sur
prised a train of merchandise and stole
about 81 1000, besides quantity of plumber,
and killing several persons. A report was
circulated at the time that it was the deed
of Indians. The band also attacked a
small town in Sonora a short time ago and
robbed a store and its keeper in daylight,
but had hard fight before they got
through with their daring undertaking.
The arrest Of Librado Corona in this city
was the first act in the proceeding that led
10 the solution of the identity of the per-
petrators of these crimes. His imprison-
mcnt on another charge led 10 the discov-
cry of the parties who robbed and NAL

that this would determine whether or not
the prisoner and Springer were one and the
same persons. Knith was then ordered to
remove his boots, which he did after re-
peated protests, showing evident alarm. and
the fatal mark was discovered. When at
Benson some time ago a man recognized
and aecosted the prisoner as Springer, hav.
ing known when III the Territory years
ago. He stoutly denies having met or
spoken to any man at Benson.
The disclosures to-day seem to- complete
the chan of circumstantial evidence against
the prisoner, and the conviction is general
among the officials and citizens here that
he is Springer. A telegram from the SheI-
IN OF San Bernardino states that an officer
would leave there to-day for this place to
take charge of Springer and return him to
Cotton. Much credit is due Deputy Sheriff
Penbrook for working up the evidence
against Springer, when the clue was so
faint
